Marcel Mathys - Sculptures From the 1st of May until the 5th of September 2004 The artist Marcel Mathys keeps a sensual relation with his favourite material: bronze. The Human Being is at the centre of his research. Mathys excels in showing the gliding of the light on the body. Using the “non-finished”, he varies the shapes and visualises the states of transition between the individual and its context. About fifty of his most recent creations are exposed at the Castle of Gruyères. Marcel Mathys is born in 1933 in Neuchâtel. After having studied at the School of Art in La Chaux-de-Fonds, he starts a professional career as an artist. His range of activities is varied: sculpture, drawing, engraving and lithography. He has also illustrated books of authors such as Pierre Chappuis, Jacques Chessex and Monique Laederach. His art is present in many Swiss museums, libraries and private collections. Marcel Mathys lives and works in Auvernier in the canton of Neuchâtel.
